I'm just saying, it's funny how his best material came from his days when he was barely known, still producing out of his basement. Actually, compared to what he's been producing lately for his newest album, I take back what I said about TMS, this album is amazing in comparison and it's probably going to be the last Owl City album I actually give a full listen.

Void of what made Owl City special. Not a bad album, but it just isn't as enchanting and captivating. Shame it seems to be a direction he's heading in as his recent songs have all sounded the same as this.

"you need to do is find how you can relate to it, then it become magical" EXACTLY. Of course this album is different from the others, you can't expect him to make Ocean Eyes 2.1 for the rest of his career. It's a bit more top-40 influenced? Great! This way he can reach more fans which means more people $upporting his work which means he can keep doing both songs like his old stuff and new things. Artists evolve, accept it.

You guys think too much, I love his music no matter what, you can't expect great music all the time, you need to do is find how you can relate to it, then it become magical.

I collect all his physical album and EP CDs, but I am seriously doubting whether if I should get this one. The only 2 songs that has his old feel is [track artist=Owl City]Silhouette[/track] and [track artist=Owl City]Metropolis[/track], but Silhouette sounds a bit cheesy imo. Metropolis is the best track on it. The others just sound like they are made for generic radio.

Songs catchy and all, but the lyrics have lost that dreamy, imaginative quality I like. It kinda made me sad............................:(((

It's like someone told him, "Okay, no more being influenced by The Postal Service, writing cute, meaningful lyrics, or making music in your basement; you can only make songs that sound exactly like each other, now with collaborating popular or new artists that will let all Top 40 fans know that you're finally cashing in on the plastic dance floor sound."

Nice album cover design. but IM REALLY DISAPPOINTED :( eww I don't like the songs, most of them are boring. I love Adam and I listen to all of his projects Sky Sailing, Owl City etc etc and I think this is the worst album. But Good Time and Silhouette are acceptable. I miss the old owl city that sounds similar to Ocean Eyes/Strawberry Avalanche. Sorry.

I am very disappointed. There are some nice songs, but this is not the real Owl City. "I Am Coming After You" sounds too much like "Good Time", "Silhouettes" is bad and boring and "Bombshell Blonde" is unlistenable. Embers, anyway, is a great song.

Ну, на каждый новый альбом любого исполнителя найдется тот, кто скажет, что, мол, совсем мейнстрим и #bandname# уже не торт. Видимо, в этот раз это я. Новый альбом не плох, лучше вышедшей недавно EP, но до старых работ не дотягивает совершенно. Я к любой поп-музыке отношусь с легким пренебрежением, а Адам Янг сумел зацепить с первого прослушивания трека Fireflies, своей уникальной "теплой" атмосферой. Но теперь его работы стали слишком танцевальным. А вот Silhouette великолепен, напомнил те самый старые треки. Альбом на 3 балла по по шкале из 5.

Слишком. Много. Хауса. Нет, в принципе, мне понравился новый альбом, хоть Shooting Star ЕР в свое время у меня вызвал дикий бугурт. Многие треки из альбома, например, Metropolis, Speed of Love и Good Time, по моему мнению, намного лучше, чем Gold или Take It All Away, представленные Адамом ранее. Они непохожи на предыдущие его работы, да, но и в них есть своя изюминка. Они заводные, танцевальные, весёлые. Но всё-таки жаль, что переизбыток такого рода песен убил всю ту доброту, наивные тексты и простенькие, но цепляющие синти-поп-ритмы, за которые мы полюбили Owl City. А неожиданным открытием в этом альбоме стала, конечно, Silhouette. ИМХО, это лучшая песня из альбома и она заслуживает того, чтобы стать хитом. Но она им не станет, к сожалению.

Why should a musician sound exactly the same on every album he/or/she does? Did U2 sound the same 4 albums in a row? Did Eminem do that? Depeche Mode? No. And thats because every step an artist take heads somewhere else within the realm of the original ideas and structures. I find The Midsummer Station to be really great.

Definitely his worst album to date, every song sounds the same. I've been a big fan of Owl City since his early Myspace days and I never thought he'd dissapoint me like this.
